Trey HillmanTrey Hillman, the manager for the Japan and Asian Major League ChampionNippon Ham Fighters, came to speak at our schoollast week. As a Christian,Mr. Hillman's first dream of making it to the Major Leagues was ousted bythe sheer lack of talent. At the age of 26 he quit his AA League team and tooka job as a manager of another minor league team. He became one of the youngestmanagers ever. When God throws a curve-ball (sorry for the pun!), it iseasy sometimes just to get down and feel like giving up. Mr. Hillman, on the otherhand realized that God was providing him with another way to reach his dreams ofgoing to the Majors.As the top manager in Japan, Mr. Hillman has an opportunity to speak to thousandsabout his faith in Christ, including his players. Many of them have been encouragedand challenged by him. Please pray for God's blessings on his "ministry"!
